Exactly What to Buy at Topshop Right This Minute

Our favorite British export after perhaps Idris Elba, Topshop is one of the surest bets for trend-driven clothes that actually tend to hold up for longer than a season or two. Because there’s virtually no way to walk into one of the New York stores and not see ten pieces I want to buy right off the bat—and let’s not even mention the bank-account killer that is their Oxford Street flagship in London—I find it’s safer to peruse online and scope out the very best pieces you can’t find anywhere else.

This time of year, the brand really hits their stride in the holiday-wear department, with metallic pleated skirts (this season’s festive-dressing MVP), fluffy faux-fur scarves, and velvet aplenty. For the more minimally-minded, there are also luxe-looking loungewear sets, slick leather mules (feel free to jeuge up with some glitter socks), and layerable duster coats in burgundy, blush, and black.
